Rev. Lemuel Wiley - Poem by Edgar Lee Masters

I preached four thousand sermons,I conducted forty revivals,And baptized many converts.Yet no deed of mineShines brighter in the memory of the world,And none is treasured more by me:Look how I saved the Blisses from divorce,And kept the children free from that disgrace,To grow up into moral men and women,Happy themselves, a credit to the village.
